Elizabeth Maxwell McIlroy was the daughter of Captain John Maxwell (1739-1828). She was the niece of General William Maxwell (1733-1796), Revolutionary War Continental Army Brigadier General. During the American Revolution, he led the 2nd New Jersey Regiment. Among his many actions, he fought in the Battle of Newtown and was regarded by General George Washington as one of the best battlefield commanders of the American forces; Find A Grave Memorial# 3642. TRIBUTE TO THE GENERAL FRELINGHUYSEN CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: In 1896, it became known that a real live daughter was to become a member of the chapter: Miss Elizabeth McIlroy, daughter of William McIlroy, a Soldier of the American Revolution. She lived to be more than 100 years old, but died soon after having been made a member of the Chapter. Mary McIlroy Kinney married William C. Kinney and is most likely buried in the Thatcher Cemetery with her husband. This cemetery is located on the southerly side of the Old Edison Road about 0.4 mile west of the junction of that road with the Broadway-Asbury Road, the junction being 1 mile south of Route 24 and almost opposite the Broadway Grange Hall. The old stone church is a complete ruin with a tree growing through its roof. The cemetery is now part of a hillside pasture and is fast disappearing as stone after stone in knocked down and broken. Several of those still remaining are badly weathered. In addition to those listed there were four unmarked field stones which were still in place and there had probably been a number more of the same which have suffered the same fate as the regular headstones.
